Good morning. It’s Tuesday, I somehow lost the jewelry in one of my nose piercings, and Chaucer just puked in the kitchen somewhere. Looks like it’s shaping up to be a good day.
The governors of both my home state and the one I work in have announced closures of all non-essential businesses. It’s laughable actually. They keep insisting it’s not an order to shelter in place, but that’s exactly what it is. BossRPh is slightly freaked out about the idea of it, also laughable. She acts as though the military is patrolling the streets. However, the state is simply shutting down the places that
- people shouldn’t be hanging out at
- don’t need to be open.
The governors are simply saying “y’all are idiots, we told you to stay at home, but you can’t be trusted to do that, so now you’re all going to be sent to the timeout corner.” A week ago, they said all nonessential businesses should close and left it to the common sense of business owners, but everything stayed open. Now, it’s a ghost town. It’s creepy.
I finally got my new phone service straightened out last night, after having some issues porting the phone number. Everything seems to be working fine, for the moment. This is good, because if I’d needed to change the phone number, Shawshank wouldn’t be able to call me until after I could get in to visit him and give him the new number.
I feel bad, but I have to push Chaucer off my lap. It’s an early shift for me today, and I need to start my day.
